The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) encourages applications for preliminary investigations
leading to optimal trials in neurology.

NINDS is committed to identifying effective treatments for neurological disorders by supporting well-executed clinical trials.
Before a definitive clinical trial can be designed, preliminary clinical studies are often required. The purpose of this
announcement is to obtain preliminary data and conduct studies to support the rationale for a subsequent definitive clinical
trial of an intervention to treat or prevent neurological disease.
